That Datsun is...

That is a 1968 Datsun 2000 Roadster. Datsun made 1600 Roadsters and 2000 Roadsters during the 1960's. It was known as the Fairlady in Japan and when they came out with the 240Z in 1970 (known as the Fairlady in Japan), the convertible Roadster ceased production. There is an enthusiast website for Datsun Roadster fanatics at www.311s.org (SRL311 and SPL311 were the VIN codes on these cars).

Datsun Roadsters get a great deal of attention when driven around town!

In the 20s and 30s, this would have been considered a coachbuilt car and become quite valuable. Only on the internet is it considered rice. Why? Because the internet can be accessed by anyone with a basic computer and an opinion regardless of whether or not they know what they are talking about.

I love cars, but the problem is they are like schroedinger's hobby. They're always in a quantum superstate of being both awesome and a huge waste of time and money... until observation momentarily forces them into one state or another.
